Little is currently known about the autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-related difficulties of females narrowly below the ASD diagnostic threshold and whether the disorder conceptualisation should be broadened to capture their presentations. We extracted fine-grained information from the assessment reports of 222 children who were either diagnosed…

Jonkman, Kim M.; Back, Elisa; Begeer, Sander – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism is a heterogeneous diagnosis with symptoms that present in different ways. There is a large variety of interventions for autistic individuals. However, little is known about who chooses which specific interventions. We aimed to explore intervention prevalence and predict intervention use, based on demographic and autism-specific…

Wang, Li; Ong, Jia Hoong; Ponsot, Emmanuel; Hou, Qingqi; Jiang, Cunmei; Liu, Fang – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
As an information-bearing auditory attribute of sound, pitch plays a crucial role in the perception of speech and music. Studies examining pitch processing in autism spectrum disorder have produced equivocal results. To understand this discrepancy from a mechanistic perspective, we used a novel data-driven method, the reverse-correlation paradigm,…

Oates, Morgan; Bean, Allison – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Despite emerging awareness of gender diversity in the autistic population, our understanding of autism remains limited to cisgender boys and men. We conducted a scoping review to better understand how structural language skills (i.e. syntax, semantics, narrative) differ across sex/gender within autism, and how gender diversity is incorporated in…

Yun, Jieun; Kang, Beomjun; Lee, Jae-ryun; Lee, Hyejin; Lee, Jin Yong – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder is considered a vulnerability for many diseases including coronavirus disease 2019. This study investigated trends in coronavirus disease 2019 among children and adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder and to evaluate whether there are differences in the prevalence, severity, and case fatality rate. We used…

Elkhatib Smidt, Stacey D.; Gooneratne, Nalaka; Brodkin, Edward S.; Bucan, Maja; Mitchell, Jonathan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Emerging evidence suggests that physical activity may be associated with improved sleep in autistic children. We aimed to determine whether physical activity associated with sufficient sleep duration in children and whether this association was modified by reported autism spectrum disorder (ASD) status. We analyzed existing data of children 6-17…

Bal, Vanessa H.; Wilkinson, Ellen; Fok, Megan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
It is essential to recognize the strengths and talents of autistic individuals. Previous studies of extraordinary talents (i.e. skills that stand out relative to the general population) have combined individuals with different skills (e.g. calendrical calculation, drawing) into one group. There has been limited investigation of talents in specific…

Rosen, Nicole E.; McCauley, James B.; Lord, Catherine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Siblings play an important role in shaping the developmental trajectories of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Having siblings has been associated with better social communication, non-verbal communication, and theory of mind abilities in autism spectrum disorder. However, little is known about the impact of siblings on adaptive skill…

Liu, Xian; Sun, Xin; Sun, Caihong; Zou, Mingyang; Chen, Yiru; Huang, Junping; Wu, Lijie; Chen, Wen-Xiong – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
The literature from inception to 2020 on the prevalence of epilepsy in autistic individuals was systematically reviewed and further explored by subgroup analyses and meta-regression models. This systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020179725). A total of 66 studies from 53 articles were included. The updated pooled prevalence of…

Casseus, Myriam – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder are neurodevelopmental disorders with high rates of co-occurrence. However, there is a dearth of large, nationally representative studies examining the prevalence of co-occurring autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder among children. The aim of…

Peristeri, Eleni; Silleresi, Silvia; Tsimpli, Ianthi Maria – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Children with autism often display discrepancies in their intellectual functioning, with nonverbal skills frequently being more developed than verbal. Compared to monolingual autistic children, however, much less is known about how bilingualism affects intelligence in autism. The current study examined the intelligence profiles of 146 bilingual…

Rodriguez, Geovanna; Drastal, Kim; Hartley, Sigan L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Youth with autism spectrum conditions have been shown to be at an increased risk for bullying victimization. The overall aim of this study was to identify factors associated with increased risk for bullying victimization in youth with autism during middle childhood to early adolescence (aged 5-12 years) and to explore the potential time-ordered…

The recent adaptation of a Chinese parent version of the Autism Spectrum Rating Scale showed the Modified Chinese Autism Spectrum Rating Scale to be reliable and valid for use in China. The aim of this study was to test the Modified Chinese Autism Spectrum Rating Scale for fit to the Rasch model. We analysed data from a previous study of the…

Yamane, Takahiro – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Assessing parenting stress in parents of children with autism has crucial clinical implications because increased parental stress is associated with psychological disorders and personal distress, which can result in worse child-parent relationships. We examined the psychometric properties of a new index for assessing parenting stressors--the…

Morales Hidalgo, Paula; Voltas Moreso, Núria; Canals Sans, Josefa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
The autism spectrum disorder prevalence data for southern Europe seem to be lower than international reports. The objective of the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Epidemiological Research Project was to estimate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in a representative school sample of Tarragona, Spain. Screening was performed through parents (N…
